DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com The area around the Madawaska Bridge in Arnprior will have several new safety features, if Ontario Power Generation (OPG) has its way.

A boom downstream to keep boats and swimmers far back from the weir, upgraded fencing along both river banks and an expanded boom upstream are three measures OPG presented to council at the Feb. 11 meeting.

New signage would also appear.

ONTARIO POWER GENERATION OPEN TO FEEDBACK, IDEAS Continued from page 1

public safety incidents near the weir, OPG has decided to ramp up safety measures. The company's stakeholder relations employee, Kasey Sleeman, said Phase 1 would take place this summer.

The fencing will change.

"This spring we'll replace the galvanized rails with stylized fencing that prevents falling through and climbing," Sleeman said. "It will be visually appealing. We want to respect the visual appeal of the weir."

Phase 2, completed by late May, would see a boom from the west bank to the island's side that faces the marina. Another boom would go from the east bank to the same side of the island. Enough room would exist between the two booms to allow for a boat to reach the island in emergencies and to set up fireworks on Canada Day. "We are open to feedback," Sleeman said. "We are open to ideas."

A few anglers have expressed

THE ISSUE: THE MADAWASKA BRIDGE WEIR HAD A HIGH NUMBER OF SAFETY INCIDENTS LAST SUMMER LOCAL IMPACT: MORE PROTECTIVE MEASURES WILL KEEP PEOPLE FURTHER AWAY FROM THE DANGEROUS WATER concern in the past that they don't want to be prevented from getting close to the weir. Mayor Walter Stack saw the illustration that shows where the booms would go. There is no telling when OPG opens the hydro dam gates upstream from Hwy. 417, so boats could be caught by surprise, he indicated.

He has no complaints with the proposed measures.

"The first concern is safety," Stack said. "It's better to have the

restrictions than not. The good thing about this area is I'm sure there are thousands of places to fish."

He is also pleased with OPG's efforts to be open and transparent. An open house is tentatively planned for March 25. It has been to council twice over the issue.

Ads will be taken to explain the project.

"They've been very co-operative, and they want it to coincide with the county's work on the bridge," Stack said. "I think it's a great idea."

His only advice was to have fire Chief Jeff Crawford see the plans so he could offer input.

Coun. Chris Toner suggested including the local fish and game club, too.

The boom upstream will also be expanded and transformed into one that would allow for selfrescue.

"Public safety is a top priority for OPG," said Scott Gagnon, work centre manager.

OPG also plans to improve walleye spawning grounds, but it is just at the preliminary design level.

Coun. Ted Strike asked for a contact at OPG to discuss bank erosion below the CP rail trestle, where Waba Creek empties into the Madawaska.

OPG/submitted Ontario Power Generation proposes to implement several safety measures, including a boom downstream of the weir, an expanded boom upstream, and upgraded fencing.

UNITED WE ROLL CONVOY SUPPORTED, CRITICIZED AS IT GOES THROUGH OTTAWA VALLEY Supporters enthusiastically greeted the United We Roll convoy as it rolled through the Upper Ottawa Valley Feb. 18 on their way to a pro-pipeline rally on Parliament Hill.

Many of the truckers on the cross-Canada trek stayed in Arnprior overnight before heading to Ottawa about 8:30 a.m. for two days of demonstrations in an effort to attract attention to their anti-carbon tax, pro-oil cause. However, some people expressed concern the protest had been tainted by a Yellow Vest anti-immigrant element.

With more than 100 trucks lined up at the Antrim Truck Stop, engines running in the morning on Feb. 19, one of the organizers

said she is prepared to stand her ground on Parliament Hill.

Haley Wile is outgoing and prone to laughter. After posing with a father and son, she hugs the man and puts a smile on the boy's face. However, asked about the atmosphere around the pro-pipeline convoy, she didn't talk about it being upbeat and positive.

"It's tense. I'm nervous.

You can look around and see the love, but the media wants to focus on the negativity," she said, referring to a radio interview she just completed. "We are speaking for a lot of people today. And we won't be bullied."

She added that trucks are coming from both the west and east coast for the two

days of rallies on Parliament Hill Feb. 19-20.

Counter protests are being planned for Ottawa. Opponents say the group includes anti-immigrants and others with extreme right wing views.

Steve Bacovsky wore a Don Cherry-like sports jacket covered in Canada maple leaves. Asked about the group's primary message, he said: "We need a change. We need a change in policies and let the pipelines through."

A retired teacher from Almonte, who was filling propane tanks at Antrim, heard the morning radio interview. The host referred to the lack of racial diversity among United We Roll members. Shannon, who didn't want to provide his last name, didn't see many nonwhites but wasn't overly concerned. He agrees with some of the messages.

"People see their jobs disappearing," he said. "I just wonder what they'll get out of it. I don't see much happening after the convoy leaves."

He said climate change is a problem, but oil will be

On the evening before, Arnprior roads surrounding Antrim Truck Stop parking lot, the parking lot itself and more parking lots across the street were filled with cars waiting for the convoy. When United We Roll finally rolled in at 9:30 p.m. on Feb. 18 - about five hours after some supporters

had arrived - the horns were blaring, people on both sides of the road screaming, and plenty of signs were waving.

The atmosphere was upbeat even in the dead of a winter evening.

Crowds also gathered on Highway 17's Renfrew exits, especially at O'Brien Road and Bruce Street (where there were festive fireworks), as well as at Storyland Road, to show their support for the convoy.

Many of the signs were against the federal government's pipeline and climate change policies, and a few (flags from B.C., Saskatchewan, and Newfoundland) showed pan-Canadian solidarity. Many others opposed immigration policies. And Yellow Vests Canada, a group with members known to post racist comments online (even threats against Prime Minster Justin Trudeau) were also prominent.

COUNTY SCHOOLS HAVE MORE TO DO IN FIGHTING CLIMATE CHANGE URGENCY NEEDED TO FACE CLIMATE CHANGE: ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSIONER OF ONTARIO DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@ metroland.com The worldwide wave of student strikes over climate change may help prompt action in the school buildings they leave behind. Here in Renfrew county, at least, there is more to do.

A United Nations report in October warns of environmental catastrophe: extreme heat, drought, floods and poverty for millions of

people if warming goes up by 1.5C. That, along with the fact that few countries are meeting their Paris agreement targets, has students in the streets demanding action. Greta Thunberg is a 16-year-old Swedish activist at the forefront of the strikes.

"Why should I be studying for a future that soon may be no more, when no one is doing anything to save that future?" Greta said. "And what is the point of learning facts when the most important facts clearly mean nothing to our society?"

She is focused on keeping oil in the ground. But when the school buildings that students spend five days a week in are less than energy efficient - some 40 years after classrooms started teaching climate

Derek Dunn/Metroland Arnprior's high school missed almost $55,000 in energy savings in 2013, according to the Environment Commissioner of Ontario. Today, with students striking over climate change, just one Renfrew county school belongs to the province's 19,000-member strong EcoSchools.

fire, because it is."

Environmental Commissioner of Ontario (ECO) Dianne Saxe dials back that kind of talk. But there is no doubt that Queen's Park and school boards must act quickly.

"It is not time to panic," Saxe told Metroland Media East. "But it is time for really urgent, focused action.

There is no time to waste."

That sense of urgency does not come through when Jaimie Perry, superintendent of Renfrew County Catholic District School Board, is presented with the 2030 warning. He appears more of an incrementalist.

"I would say individual school and boards can contribute to footprint reductions and where we can reduce, we should," Perry said. "Sometimes this requires incentives or separate funding in order to support the changes required. We can, of course, play a significant role in the education piece, especially if we model more energy efficiency."

The board is constantly trying to retrofit buildings to be more energy efficient, he added. Windows are being upgraded; some lighting upgrades; a few schools have solar panels. Similar projects are underway at the Renfrew County District School Board where Bill Murray is the facilities manager. He points to recent technological advancements - motion detector lights, better insulation, more efficient furnaces that help offset new carbon emitters at schools, such as air conditioners.

While he too focuses on cost-savings, there is still room to see the next 12

years as the existential threat many students see it as.

"They'll push us to do better because they are closer to the environment," Murray said. "They help us stay focused on why need to make these investments."

However, even though school boards are primarily motivated by cost savings, they still have a long way to go. There are carbon-neutral buildings. According to an interactive map on ECO's website titled 2016 Let's Get Serious, area schools have work to do. In 2013, the following schools saw greenhouse gas emissions and savings go up in the air: . Arnprior District High School - 669,419 kilograms and $54,412 potential savings; . St. Joseph's Catholic High School - 334,368 kilograms and $16.697; . Renfrew Collegiate Institute - 767,864 kilograms and $78,287; . Queen Elizabeth Public School - 210,620 kilograms and $7,196; . Central Public School 205,663 kilograms and $11,474; . Our Lady of Fatima 136,028 kilograms and $4,634; . St. Thomas the Apostle - 85,889 kilograms and $0; . John XXIII Catholic 120,012 kilograms and $2,016; . St. Joseph Catholic primary - not available; . Walter Zadow Public not available; . McNab Public - not available.

To lessen student panic, wasted energy and lost money, Renfrew boards could turn to Ontario EcoSchools, whose mission is to nurture environ-

Greta Thunberg

ment leaders, reduce the ecological impact of schools, and build environmentally responsible school communities. The free-to-join organization has schools competing to reach higher levels of certification. It also shares best practices among the 1,900 member schools.

Executive director Lindsay Bunce picks up on Murray's point about students pressing to reduce their school's carbon footprint.

"We focus on student engagement. So for instance they monitor energy use, that sort of thing," Bunce said. "It is about communities of learning and communities of practice."

One Renfrew county school, Eganville Public, participates.

Not enough schools are taking advantage of the "low hanging fruit" of converting to LED light bulbs and other measures, says Bill Eggertson at the Canadian Association for Renewable Energies in Ottawa. Staff get paid regardless, boards have little motivation to be creative (wear-an-ugly-sweater day, he suggests), and governments are often indifferent or even hostile to climate change awareness.

"There is not enough blunt incentive except when the budget for heating is frozen," Eggertson said. "Schools are nowhere near as efficient as they could be. There could be profit made from schools."

He said there is merit in top-down mandating. Canada, being the only industrialized country without a federal department of education, could force standards on provinces. But See page 6

STUDENT ENGAGEMENT KEY TO SUCCESS Continued from page 5

with a Liberal government that buys pipelines and a provincial government that cancelled $100 million in school retro-fittings, Eggertson doesn't see the commitment.

"We could have national standards but getting enforcement would be difficult. Look at how carbon pricing is going over," he said. "Without a doubt, my generation made this problem and we have a responsibility of helping the kids to fix it at their schools and elsewhere."

ECO figures show Ontarians could save $450 million annually through energy efficiency upgrades at public sector buildings.

Conservation is the cheapest source of new energy.

Compare that to the province spending over $600 million in fossil-fuel subsi-

dies every year.

Saxe sees plenty of low hanging fruit to grab over the next five years. Fossil fuel use can be reduced by changing how students and staff get to school; EV chargers in parking lots; lots of safe bike storage; getting rid of diesel buses; composting and tree planting. School meals should be much more plant-based and food waste eliminated.

She also wants to see more solar panels and green roofs, and awnings to keep out hot summer sun.

"In five years, we are going to need much more clean electricity," Saxe said. "We should have restored the recently cancelled renewable energy projects, and be generating and storing more clean electricity across the province."

She added that schools must become places of

leadership.

"We need students and teachers that understand the urgency of climate change and a growing number of net zero schools."

Greta is among a growing number of students who don't need convincing.

They have the most to lose.

"You are not mature enough to tell it like is," she said at the recent Climate Change Conference summit. "Even that burden you leave to us children. But I don't care about being popular.

"I care about climate justice and the living planet."

STORY BEHIND THE STORY

With students around the world protesting climate catastrophe due in just over a decade, we wanted to know if at least their schools are responding.

Administrators point to a few cost-saving upgrades, but lack the urgency Ontario's environment commissioner wants to see.

BRUTAL WINTER TAKING TOLL ON SNOW REMOVAL BUDGET DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@ metroland.com As snow removal crews and contractors struggle to keep up with the latest storm, Arnprior Mayor Walter Stack is trying to keep morale up even as he contemplates the budget implications.

The town won't know the budget impact on cleaning up the latest roughly 30 centimetres for a few more weeks, as invoices roll in. But all municipal crews are working the legal maximum hours and every contractor available is helping out, Stack said.

He points to a sidewalk getting cleaned one day only to see it filled in again the next. It isn't like the win-

ters he remembers as a kid.

Back then they were longer and possibly with the same amount of snow. But snowstorms are much larger these days, he indicated.

He isn't going into budget talks later this month with an eye of increasing money to snow removal "Nobody can predict this kind of winter" - but he is concerned about the next few weeks. And if winter hits early next November and December, it will exceed the budget and reserve funds will be needed.

"Even if it doesn't hit early next year, I think we'll be over budget regardless."

Three years ago, the $708,000 winter maintenance budget was exceeded by 20 per cent. Repeated thaw-and-freezing in April added work hours as crews had to spread more sand and salt than usual.

OPP OFFICER REFLECTS ON 30 YEARS OF SERVICE DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@ metroland.com For three decades, Janice Sawbridge served and protected Ontario, mostly in the Arnprior and Renfrew areas, near where she grew up. She was often the OPP's voice at accident and crime scenes. But the media relations officer is turning in her uniform today, secure in her decision to retire to her farm and confident the next generation of police officers will continue the work.

"I can't believe it's gone by so fast," Sawbridge said at the Renfrew detachment. "I wanted to be a teacher, and then I got to go into schools and talk to the kids about cyber bullying and youths in law, and I really enjoyed that. So I guess I succeeded in that part."

In 1989, Sawbridge was among the 15 per cent of female OPP officers. While calling herself a trailblazer is strong, she acknowledges the singularity of the moment.

"I was the first female (officer) at the Arnprior detachment," she said. "We hadn't been around that long."

She insists that she faced no sexism or "old boys' network" in the OPP nothing like what the RCMP is accused of; instead, she names several male superiors who wisely guided her.

However, the mother of three (Greg, Curtis and a daughter Morgan) had doubts over the years about her career choice.

Especially with a husband, Bruce, who also served. Is it irresponsible for a parent willingly go to work knowing how dangerous the job

"It goes through your mind, I'll be honest. I think of Sgt. Margaret Eve who was killed in the line of work. She had two children."

Why upset her kids by missing birthday parties or other key moments just because you were called in?

"The kids were really supportive, even though they didn't know it at the time," Sawbridge recalls, smiling to herself. "I remember we had something planned and I got called in to work. They were disappointed but tried to hide it."

Many women struggle to accept help from others.

Not Sawbridge. She instigated a comment on her nearby caregivers, singling out her sister.

"I appreciate all the women who helped me raise my children," she said. "Working shift work, it was my sister who would stay overnight with the kids."

Some cases stick with her. She recalls the middleaged man from Ottawa who planned to kill himself in an Arnprior motel room.

They arrived just in time.

She wonders about him, remembers his thank-you card.

Another day, she and partner Don Gougeon

"We had four in stalls that day," she said. "For a young officer, that was fun."

The Sawbridges (Bruce retired in November) have big plans in retirement.

They will continue selling

"I'm feeling that I did accomplish something," she said. "Thank you. It's been a pleasure and honour to work in this area."

Const. Tina Hunt is the new media relations officer.

The Renfrew County and District Health Unit (RCDHU) has launched a new era in allowing the public access to the activities it monitors.

The health unit has established a "disclosure website" to make it more convenient for the public to view inspection reports. In a news release, the health unit said it "hopes this information helps residents of Renfrew County and District to make informed choices about their health."

The health unit is required to publicly post inspection reports related to food safety, recreational water, small drinking water systems, personal service settings, health hazards, infection prevention and control lapses, and tobacco and vapour product control.

However, only reports completed after Jan. 1, 2019, will be accessible online on the new disclosure website.

The public is invited to check out the website at rcdhu.com/inspection-disclosure.

OPINION EDITORIAL

TO LEARN HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN CONTENT VISIT INSIDEOTTAWAVALLEY.COM

ALL FARMERS ASKIN' IS FOR A LITTLE RESPECT Canadians are passionate about their food. It's too bad they're not as smitten with their farmers.

While most country folks have a healthy appreciation for the significant contribution the agriculture sector makes to our lifestyle and economy, the urban-rural divide appears to be growing when it comes to farming.

The recent changes to the Canadian Food Guide are just one manifestation of a lack of understanding many city-based bureaucrats and residents have for the challenges facing farmers. Many of the new guidelines are healthier, but don't discount those who thrive upon oldfashioned meat and potatoes grub.

Another recent blow to farmers is the apparent willingness of many Canadians to sacrifice supply management protections in an effort to stave off American trade sanctions.

Local farmers are facing added costs as the assessment-based property tax system shifts the burden onto their sector. On one hand, it's useful to see the value of farmland recognized, but it's counterproductive if farmers are taxed out of operation.

Farmers are also taking the brunt of city-instigated efforts by environmental and animal rights activists.

While their general intent is often worthy of support, too often the devil is in the details when it comes to legislated changes.

What may make sense in an urban setting, doesn't necessarily translate to the country, unless urban consumers are willing to pay much higher prices for their food to compensate for the 'reforms'. Which, of course, they are not.

Making urban outrage about agricultural practices and impacts harder to swallow is that farmers are among those hardest hit by climate change brought on at least partially by urban pollution.

Canadian farm organizations have been putting more emphasis recently on explaining their value to the more than 98 per cent of Canadians who don't live on a farm.

The latest effort came Feb. 12, Canadian Agriculture Day, when it was stressed the country's agriculture and agrifood sectors contribute over $110 billion to the economy and generate thousands of jobs in the food processing, transportation and retail sectors.

But are such messages preaching only to the converted? Is anyone else listening?

It's been more effective for farmers to show the public what they do by demonstrating their vocation and putting the fruits of their labours on display.

That's why farmers' markets, rural fairs, tastes of the valley, rural rambles and plowing matches are so important and need to be better publicized to attract city slickers as well as country folk.

It's unfortunate the Renfrew Farm Comes to Town has been fallowed as it enlightened the consumers and voters of tomorrow about the importance of agriculture.

We need more such events, not fewer.

So congratulations for the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Foundation for holding a tribute to farm women on International Women's Day and the Arnprior Lions Club for their many years of Farmers Nights.

And good luck to the bid to attract the 2021 International Plowing Match to Renfrew and Admaston/Bromley.

Showcasing farm life can go a long way to fostering understanding for the agricultural sector and its crucial role in feeding the rest of us.

WHO WE ARE LETTERS & COMMENTARY TIME FOR GROCERY STORES TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX, SAYS READER

table by 2025. I'm sure other countries are working on this solvable problem as well. Why not Canada?

SUSAN FISHER PERTH

TO THE EDITOR:

What an interesting story about how well-attended the sensory-friendly grocery shopping was at No Frills Arnprior. I am impressed with the owner's willingness to think outside the box. I'm wondering why the store (and others) don't adopt it as a full-time, or at least halftime, practice as it seems so popular?

I also am pretty sure if our Lanark County stores adopt some sort of no, or much less, plastic, approach that the response would be hugely favourable.

In New Zealand, sales of some vegetables soared 300 per cent after a number of supermarkets ditched plastic fruit and vegetable wrapping. They call the movement Food In the Nude. The New Zealand Plastic Packaging Declaration aims to have all store and private label packaging to be 100 per cent reusable, recyclable or compos-

PHYSICIAN HOUSE CALL SERVICE VALUABLE: READER TO THE EDITOR:

Re: "House call doctor rebuked by physician team" Jan. 31.

Bravo Dr. Alexander McLachlan and boo Dr. Michael Fishman and group of family physicians. Living in Calabogie I personally feel that house calls are an excellent way to treat patients and admire Dr. McLachlan for doing so. My general practitioner is here one day a week so if I am sick that day, OK. Otherwise it means travelling to a walkin clinic at least an hour away or to the emergency room (ER) at Renfrew Victoria Hospital.

The ER should be for emergency and not for the common cold and flu symptoms. It is frustrating to sit in a germ-infested waiting room for long periods of

time.

The benefit of Dr. McLachlan's valuable service is fantastic, and would keep many seniors who are unwell from having to make the trip for treatment.

I feel Dr. McLachlan should have the right to continue this service. Are these 14 doctors truly aware how many people do not have their own physician?

Many residents here are going to Ottawa, Kemptville or Brockville, etc.

Keep up the good work Dr. McLachlan and thanks for caring.

HARE-RAISING TALES OF CANNIBALISM MICHAEL RUNTZ EXPLORES THE DARK SIDE OF SNOWSHOE HARES MICHAEL RUNTZ Column

Every now and again, one hears a story about an occurrence in nature that seems too far-fetched to be real, and often that is just the case. Take, for example, the story about hummingbirds migrating on the backs of large birds such as eagles. Of course, that was found to be nonsense. Or the oft-quoted report that individual purple martins eat 1,000 mosqui-

toes per day. That, too, has no foundation in truth; those gorgeous swallows don't even consider mosquitoes worthy of being appetizers. Incidentally, that "fact" was created by an unscrupulous advertising agency hired to sell - you guessed it - purple martin houses.

Recently an acquaintance told me a story about snowshoe hares that I found hard to believe. She was following snowshoe hare tracks and noticed blood spotting the snow here and there. Now, it is not unusual to see that when females are approaching their estrus. But when the observer followed the trail around a corner what did she find but one hare eating another!

Now, I must admit that I am always skeptical when it comes to stories like that one. After all, snowshoe hares, like other members of the lagomorph group, are strictly vegetarian. At least that was my understanding. Snowshoe hares, named for their huge hind feet that keep them from sinking deep into snow when they hop, eat a variety of herbaceous plants in summer, and twigs and coniferous needles in winter.

But hares eating flesh was something I was sure one could encounter only in a Stephen King novel or in a comedy such as Monty Python and the Holy Grail, a classic movie in which a killer rabbit attacked passersby.

Still, I thought I'd better do some background re-

search before out-and-out rebuttal of this wild story, so I searched the literature for information concerning the diet of hares. To my amazement, I found not one, but a number of references to hares scavenging animal carcasses, even those of dead hares. Now, anecdotal accounts are rarely given much credence, but photographs and articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals certainly are, and so I found irrefutable evidence that snowshoe hares are at times cannibalistic.

The search brought me to an article published in 1921 by J.D. Soper in the Journal of Mammalogy. In it, he told of snowshoe hares commonly being caught in traps baited with meat, and of trappers hav-

ing hares eat their catches after the hides had been removed. Soper himself observed hares devouring dead hares on more than one occasion.

Very recently, Michael Peers of the University of Alberta published a research paper in Northwestern Naturalist about snowshoe hare cannibalism.

The study involved setting out carcasses of various animals and recording their visitors on trail cameras. He found that these furry "herbivores" frequently scavenge carcasses in winter, and not only eat other hares and dead grouse, but also devour their deadliest adversaries - Canada lynx!

Our cute, cuddly snowshoe hares certainly have a dark side to them.

It seems Monty Python had it right all along!

McNab/Braeside's polar plunge is on the move, with a new date, location and charity.

The first plunge was held last year on the Family Day weekend at Burnstown Beach, raising almost $2,700 for the Braeside rink.

This year, the plunge has been moved to White Lake Beach on Saturday, Feb. 23, to coincide with the White Lake Winter Carnival. McNab/Braeside recreation programmer Scott Conroy explained the polar plunge event has officially become one in a series of two dozen Special Olympics "Freezing for a Reason" fundraisers held by

the Ontario Law Enforcement Torch Run. Kingston held its polar plunge Feb. 3, and Ottawa's is set for March 2.

Conroy has personally accepted the "Be bold, get cold" challenge and will be one of the hardy souls taking the plunge after recreation director Geoff Patterson survived it last year.

Registration will begin at 1 p.m., and the plunge is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. People can preregister online through the McNab/Braeside Recreation Facebook page or by contacting Conroy at the township municipal office.

Conroy said organizers will cut a square out of the ice at the beach so participants can run in for a quick dunk. They will then be quickly escorted across Burnstown Road to the fire hall for a warm-up and hot chocolate.

McNab/Braeside firefighters will help ensure the safety of participants and viewers.

NATURALIST'S NEW BOOK TELLS THE STORIES OF ALGONQUIN PROVINCIAL PARK IN PHOTOS MICHAEL RUNTZ'S 12TH BOOK, 'ALGONQUIN WILD: A NATURALIST'S JOURNEY THROUGH THE SEASONS,' CONTAINS 360 PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE PARK HOLLIE PRATT-CAMPBELL hpratt-campbell@ metroland.com Naturalist, biology professor and Metroland wildlife columnist, Michael Runtz, has been exploring Algonquin Provincial Park for close to 50 years. In the past, he worked at the park for 11 different seasons, surveying dragonflies, species at risk and more, and has explored the area extensively by canoe and foot ever since.

Runtz's 12th and latest book is called Algonquin Wild: A Naturalist's Jour-

ney through the Seasons.

It's a gorgeous, photographic testament to his intimate knowledge of the park, which marked its 125th anniversary in 2018.

Runtz tells Algonquin's story as it shifts through the four seasons through a collection of 360 photographs.

Runtz says most of the photos were taken in the last three years, however some date back as far as 30 years. Readers will see all the iconic animals associated with Canadian wilderness, like moose and bears, but also some of the rarer,

Ann Mayall photo Naturalist Michael Runtz's favourite way to explore Algonquin Park is by canoe. more subtle but equally magical aspects of the park.

"Many of these things are either rarely photographed or never before seen in books," Runtz explains.

For example, he was

able to capture a tiny animal called a "snow flea" mid-air.

"When one is about to jump into the air, out of the back end come three balloon-like appendages that allow the animal to stick to a snow crystal when it lands after jumping 10 times its body length," he says.

The photo depicts these appendages, which are rarely seen since they "appear for a millisecond when it launches, then retract."

Runtz says these snow fleas (which are not technically fleas at all, but tiny animals known as springtails) appear by the billions in late winter, "but they're rarely ever looked at because they're so small."

Those wishing to view snow fleas should look for

little "peppergrains" that are jumping on the snow, Runtz says "Sometimes there are so many of them the snow can look almost black. In one footprint you might see 1,000. They looks like specks of dirt until they jump, and you have to look closely to see them jump."

Another highlight of Algonquin Wild is a photo of a fox digging up a turtle nest and eating the eggs.

"Very few people have ever seen this let alone photographed it," says Runtz.

To get the shot, he followed a fox at dawn for about 20 minutes, until the fox reached a culvert and began to sniff and dig furiously.

The book contains many such stories within a story.

A section called "sap sucker theatre" shows what happens after a bird called a yellow-bellied sap sucker drills holes into a tree with its beak. The sap that emerges from the tree drips into little wells in the

ground.

"The bird drinks the sap, but then a lot of other animals come along and steal the sap," Runtz says, explaining that everything from hummingbirds to squirrels will enjoy the fruits of the yellow-bellied sap sucker's labour.

"I spent hours sitting near a sap sucker tree recording animals that came to it" for the book.

The forward for Algonquin Wild was written by famous wildlife artist Robert Bateman - the same man who wrote the forward for the book Runtz wrote on Algonquin Park for its 100th anniversary in 1993.

"I thought that was very appropriate," Runtz says.

Bateman, a fellow lover of Algonquin Park, approached the forward from a mindset of "each image in the book is a work of art in itself," Runtz explains, adding that "this is the highest compliment one can get from the world's foremost wildlife artist."

route.

The county delegation, which also included Warden Jennifer Murphy, also pointed out the importance fourlaning Highway 17 to at least Deep River for Garrison Petawawa and Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) and their 10,000 employees. Both facilities are going through major expansions, making the fourlaning even more crucial,

Emon said.

He said that when Ministry of Transportation Parliamentary Assistant MPP Kinga Surma makes a fact-finding visit to the area this spring, she will meet with local politicians and business leaders. The business representatives can impress on her directly how important the four lanes would be to the area's economy, he said.

FOUR LANES NEEDED FOR CROSS-COUNTRY TRAFFIC: RENFREW COUNTY JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com A four-lane Highway 17 up the Ottawa Valley could help divert traffic away from the Greater Toronto Area bottleneck.

That was one of several arguments advanced by a Ren-

frew County delegation when it met with provincial officials recently to lobby for the continuation of four-laning west of Scheel Drive.

Renfrew Reeve Peter Emon, who chairs Renfrew County's Highway 17 extension advisory committee, said it makes more sense for

cross-Canada traffic, especially long-haul trucks, to be diverted at Johnstown up Highway 416 rather than go through the highly congested Toronto area. An alternate Highway 416/417 route out through North Bay would be a much easier way to link Quebec and Maritime and St.

Lawrence ports to Western Canada if the Trans-Canada Highway in this area was upgraded.

Emon noted it would be considerably cheaper to acquire property to expand the highway in the Ottawa-toNorth Bay corridor than buying land along a southern

COMMUNITY

ARNPRIOR CURLING CLUB HOSTS SUCCESSFUL VYVIENNE JOHNSTON MEMORIAL BONSPIEL SANDRA TAIT The Vyvienne Johnston Memorial Bonspiel was held on Saturday, Jan. 12 at the Arnprior Curling Club, with a full draw of 32 female curlers. The women played two games of curling and enjoyed a delicious lunch catered by M3 Eatery - and served by some of the

men of the club decked out in their finest attire!

This will become an annual event to honour the achievements of the late Vyvienne Johnston, who won many awards over her distinguished curling career - and who was the recipient of a Special Achievement Award by the Province of Ontario for her

contribution to the development of the sport of curling. Don Johnston and his son Doug Johnston presented the commemorative pins to the winners, and gave us a brief history of Vyvienne's outstanding commitment to the sport of curling and to the community of Arnprior.

The winning teams

Thank you to all the participants and volunteers who made this such a fun day, and to the following Arnprior businesses who graciously supported this event: Giant Tiger, Metro, Rona, Audrey's In Town Fashions, the Arnprior Book Store, The Gallery Gift Shop and the Artful Gallery.

Sandra Tait is the convener of the Vyvienne Johnston Memorial Bonspiel.

OPINION

SPELLING OF FAMILY NAME A SOURCE OF FRUSTRATION FOR FATHER HANEMAN COULD HAVE MULTIPLE VARIATIONS, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column

It was a discussion between Mother and Father I heard many times. Mother trying her best to calm Father down, and Father yelling, "It's plain nonsense, I tell you ... I've never heard anything so foolish in my life."

It had to do with our name. Ever since I had learned to print, I could spell Haneman without any trouble. And that's what Father was so upset about. As it happened,

there was a funeral and a wedding that week, both, as Father said were distant cousins ... so distant in fact, Father said he couldn't remember what they looked like. As usual, everyone for miles around never missed a funeral, relative or not, and almost an entire county was asked to every wedding.

That's what Father was so upset about. Both families had spelled Haneman two different ways, and neither were spelled like ours.

"It's like the Briscoes," he said. "Some put an 'e' on the end, and some leave it off."

I knew what Father was talking about, because right in the Northcote School, one Brisco had an "e," and the other didn't. I asked Cecil why and he said the ones without an "e" were just trying to save ink,

which made perfect sense to me.

Father said the Briscoes could do what they liked. It was the Hanemans he was concerned about. He got out the Renfrew Mercury and there as plain as the nose on your face was the funeral notice with Haneman spelled with an "i," and the wedding name spelled with two "n's."

Father said he had no idea how the mishap occurred or when the change came about. He said he had his name passed down to him for three generations, and as far as he was concerned, the way he spelled it was the right way and that's the way it would stay.

I sat at the end of the table after the kitchen had been redded up, listening to Father rant on about names. He mentioned the name Kallies and said,

"Now there's a family that knows what's right and wrong. They have been here as long as the Hanemans and they are quite happy with the way their name has been spelled.

None of this high-falooting tomfoolery for them, I can tell you."

Then he got talking about the Lutheran Church. Well, I knew that could be a topic that could take up the whole evening!

Father and three generations before him were all Lutherans. And here were these two major events coming up ... both supposed to be relatives and one soul being buried in the Lutheran Church and the wedding for the relative taking place in the Catholic Church at Mount St. Patrick's.

"I'll tell you, the whole world is going straight to

hell in a basket," he said, emptying his pipe into the Findlay Oval. He was sure riled up. As always happened when Father got onto the subject of the spelling of our name, and the Lutheran Church, Mother just sat back and let him get it over with. I knew exactly how it was going to end. As it always did. He just couldn't understand it. It was beyond him. He settled back down in the rocking chair by the stove with his feet up on the oven door, a new plug of tobacco in his pipe and with his eyes closed, repeated what he must have said a hundred times.

"It's just beyond me. All those people who came out before me ... three generations ago ... all on the same boat ... all Lutherans. We all settled here, or close to here. Us here in Northcote

... we're still Lutherans.

Now, can you tell me how that same boatload of Lutherans went to Mount St. Patrick, and before you could blink an eye, they were all Catholics?"

Mother poured another cup of green tea and put it on the chair beside him. He had worked himself up over the spelling of our name and the Lutheran Church to the point where he fell asleep before he could put the cup to his lips.

ENERGY TIP! Change the direction of airflow on your ceiling fan.

For those cold, winter months, the blades should operate in a clockwise direction, helping to push the warm air from the ceiling down into the room.

In the summer, the blades should operate in a counter clockwise direction as a way of creating a nice, gentle wind.

Derek Dunn/Metroland The new township offices in McNab/Braeside should be finished by spring or early summer.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? TOWNSHIP OFFICES IN MCNAB/BRAESIDE The future McNab/Braeside township offices on Russett Drive, near Calabogie Road and Highway 17, are slated to open in late spring or early summer.

JUST THE FACTS • In 2014, the township had $760,000 set aside to fund the major repair or replacement of $7.6million of buildings that were, on average, 26 years old.

• First to be replaced was the Braeside sand and salt shed, followed recently by the Braeside RA Centre (now called the John A. Gillies building).

• Work is almost finished at the former Parneel building, which

will become the Murray Yantha Community Centre. It hasn't opened because the area is still a construction zone, due to the township offices being built across the parking lot. Once done, the area will be safe to open to the public.
